If you're an a**, you're going to turn people off no matter what you wear. Those Nike Tour de France jerseys (made in Italy) are super high quality. I say go ahead and wear it. I think giving more visibility to pro cycling is great. If the Tour de France didn't want you wearing the jerseys, they wouldn't sell them to you. If Lance Armstrong's team didn't want you wearing their jerseys, he wouldn't sell them either (and they wouldn't change the design every year so you have to keep buying them to keep up to date).
Personally, I just don't wear them because they are so expensive. If they cost $30 instead of $100, I would be tempted.
